In this study, we aimed to elucidate the optimal conditions for baking gluten-free rice bread while considering the powder characteristics of 10 rice flour varieties by optimizing the quantity of water to be added and examining the effects of particle size, protein content, amylose content, and degree of starch damage in rice flour.Rice breads were prepared with varying quantities of water, and the range of quantity of water that allowed baking varied depending on the variety of rice flour used. We determined that high protein content in rice flour allowed a wide range of quantity of water that can be added to be suitable for bread baking; however, concurrent with this are that the compressive stress of the bread increases as well. Moreover, we examined the effect of ingredient composition on the optimal quantity of water added to ensure the swelling of the rice flour bread and found that the quantity of water that can be added ranged from 15- to 17-fold when the quantity of water to be added was based on the protein content in rice flour. These results indicate that when preparing gluten-free rice bread with a large specific volume, the quantity of water to be added can be determined using the protein content in rice flour as an indicator. Additionally, we found that when the protein content in rice flour is not known, the quantity of water to be added can be adjusted to achieve 10 to 20 Pa loss modulus G’’ of the batter.

Although in clinical dentistry the major method used for pain relief is oral administration of analgesics, alternative methods are available, such as transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), acupuncture, vibration and conditioned pain modulation (CPM), formerly termed diffuse noxious inhibitory control. The aim of the present study was to investigate the combined effects of non-noxious (TENS) and noxious (CPM) stimuli on postoperative pain after extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth. The study involved 44 patients who were scheduled to undergo impacted wisdom tooth extraction. The patients were randomly allocated into four groups: noxious stimuli, non-noxious stimuli, combined noxious and non-noxious stimuli, and a sham group. On the day after tooth extraction, stimulation procedures for pain relief were performed and changes in the level of perceived pain were scored using a visual analog scale (VAS). The combination of non-noxious and noxious stimuli decreased the VAS scores by 63.7%, indicating a more potent analgesic effect than that in the non-noxious, noxious, and sham groups. This method of analgesia using a combination of non-noxious and noxious stimuli can be applied to patients who are unable to tolerate analgesics, such as those with allergy, hypersensitivity or digestive disorders, and those who are pregnant.
